Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 3362M-1-105LF qualifies as a direct substitute for the PVC6Q105A01B00 based on matching electrical specifications: identical resistance value (1 MOhms), power rating (0.5W), tolerance (±10%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), number of turns (1.0), adjustment type (side adjustment), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pins). Both parts are manufactured by Bourns Inc. and share the same functional performance envelope. The primary differences are resistive material composition (ceramic versus cermet) and physical dimensions, which do not affect electrical substitutability within the specified parameter constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3362M-1-105LF is the qualified substitute for the PVC6Q105A01B00. Selection of the 3362M-1-105LF is supported by: (1) active product status versus obsolete status of the original part, ensuring long-term availability; (2) ROHS3 compliance versus non-compliance of the original part, meeting current regulatory requirements; (3) identical electrical performance across all specified parameters; (4) common manufacturer source (Bourns Inc.) ensuring design continuity. Physical dimension differences (0.275" x 0.260" versus 0.315" x 0.272" face dimensions) require PCB layout verification for mechanical fit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362M-1-105LF replace the PVC6Q105A01B00 in existing designs?

A: Yes, the 3362M-1-105LF provides electrical equivalence across all specified parameters: resistance, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, number of turns, adjustment type, mounting type, and termination style. PCB layout must be verified due to smaller physical dimensions of the substitute part.

Q: What is the difference between ceramic and cermet resistive materials in these parts?

A: Both materials meet the specified electrical performance parameters (1 MOhms, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient). Cermet material in the 3362M-1-105LF provides improved stability and reliability characteristics compared to ceramic material in the PVC6Q105A01B00.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 3362M-1-105LF is ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected, while the PVC6Q105A01B00 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected. For applications requiring regulatory compliance, the 3362M-1-105LF is the appropriate selection.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The 3362M-1-105LF is supplied in tube packaging, whereas the original part packaging specification was not provided in the reference data.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible with existing PCB layouts?

A: The 3362M-1-105LF has smaller face dimensions (0.275" x 0.260") compared to the PVC6Q105A01B00 (0.315" x 0.272"). PCB footprint and mounting hole spacing must be verified for mechanical compatibility before design implementation.
